What should we now expect a digital artwork to look or sound like

Have digital technologies become so pervasive they are almost invisible As one of our Film Festival forum panelists has observed Macy Grays album was recorded digitally but we dont call her a digital artist There is no question that artists are increasingly taking up digital technologies to create their works But how are they using them right now dgtart 00 at City Exhibit ion Space and the Sydney Film Festival shows us how

dLux media arts is one of AustraliaS leading screen arts organisations It has evolved over a period of 20 years as artists relationship to media technology has also evolved Today dLux encourages and promotes the development and critical discussion of innovative film video cd-rom web and sound arts and exhibits this work to diverse aud iences internationally

As dgtarts international reputation has developed so has artists interest in participating Entries for dgtart 00 have come from both established and emerging artists around the world Panels of Sydneyshybased artists have chosen the very best and most challenging works to showcase at the dgtart 00

screenings and exhibition

If you would like an opportunity to reflect on what Being Digital means today please come to our Sydney Film Festival forum of the very same name dLux invites artists and audiences to consider the digital as metaphor in the evolution of experimental media culture
